Documentation

This address verification tool embeds in a web page containing a free-text address field and searches a purpose-built, near-live database of address information sourced from Australia’s state and territory governments. It suggests verified addresses as the user types an intended address – correcting any input errors – and returns fully parsed address data and geographic coordinates for the selected address.

The PSMA Addresses API is an address verification service and offers a range of attributes for a selected address, including Commonwealth and state electorate, local government and ABS statistical area, property identifier and geographic coordinates, as well as, building identifiers to be used in conjunction with PSMA's Buildings API. Input addresses are validated against PSMA's Geocoded National Address File (GNAF).
